Ruby Tuesday's taste and carb report
Well, I took myself out to Ruby Tuesday's today for lunch! I just had to try some of the low carb stuff. I had: ribeye steak, creamy cauliflower (fake mashed potatoes) and creamed spinach. OH- and a slice of cheescake!
Results: I was shocked that the cauliflower dish tasted so much like mashed potatoes, just much creamier. Delicious! - 7 carbs
Creamed Spinach- 9 carbs-too much so I just ate half. Could have been a little cheesier, and had a bit too much salt for my taste.
Cheescake- awesome!!!!! and only 6 carbs for a very decent size slice.
I saved the steak for last because...the guide listed it as 10 CARBS!!!! I inquired as to whether that included the sides, but we discovered the numbers didn't add up. Then, one of the waiters checked in the kitchen and they said the cook said, "meat has carbs." I said nope! So, the investigation continues. The only thing it could possibly be is the seasoning, and they would have to use an awful lot to make 10 carbs. They are checking into it. Meanwhile, when I go back, (when I have money!) I will order a steak seasoned only with salt and pepper.
Happy lc'ing!! Tina
